    80 Senses #49… Greek Islands

     

    They may be having a horrid time of it of late but one tiny crumb of consolation for the beleaguered Greeks is that they possess possibly the world’s most beautiful collection of islands. You can imagine what the reaction was when German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested the Greeks sell some of them off to repay their national debt.

    Of the thousand-odd scattered around the Aegean, the Cyclades are perhaps the most evocative. So named because they encircled the sacred island of Delos (once central to Greek mythology) these days the most famous islands of the group – Santorini and Mykonos – draw a different kind of worshipper, with the ancient gods and goddesses replaced by models and DJs.
